Hermitage, PA (PRWEB) April 14, 2005 -- Richard “Rescue Rick the Grass Cut
Man” Mudrinich springs into yard safety for another season.
Some are born
great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em."

Act ii, Sc. 5, Twelfth Night, William Shakespeare
Peter Parker was bitten
by a radioactive spider. Bruce Wayne was transformed by the tragic death of his
parents. The Fantastic Four were bombarded with Cosmic Rays. For Richard
Mudrinich, of Hermitage, Pennsylvania, greatness came in the form of a lawn
mower accident.
Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm) is a “caped crusader”
working tirelessly to prevent lawn mower accidents and to promote yard safety.
“The Spring Season has arrived. Growing grass needs cut, and I want to prevent
outdoor power equipment accidents. In essence, I want to blast my public service
safety message to create awareness so that people do not get hurt this season,”
shares Rescue Rick.
Rescue Rick (sm) is a renaissance yardman, utilizing
various art forms to communicate his safety message. “I want to educate and
entertain the general public regarding the importance of yard safety. Lawn mower
accidents happen in a split-second, often resulting in life-altering outcomes
that sometimes include amputation. I learned this from first-hand experience
when I amputated part of my left foot while cutting the grass,” shares Rescue
Rick.
Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man wants to create awareness regarding
the frequency and severity of lawn mower accidents and to promote preventive
measures to rescue individuals and families from the dreaded experience
associated with yard accidents. Each year, there are about 100,000 lawn mower
accidents. Furthermore, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
reports that hospital emergency rooms treat more than 400,000 outdoor
garden-tool-related accidents each year. Estimates from past statistics indicate
that yardwork accidents fatally injure more than 3,000 people. According to
Rescue Rick, "Think before you cut. It hurts. I encourage you to heed the
outdoor power equipment safety precautions and to promote grass cut
safety!"
